Question Mobile viewing

[lostwin]

I mainly access the Forum on my iPhone using Safari. A couple of frustrations regarding navigation that it would be really appreciated to get a fix for.

At the top of the thread page I get an option to return to the specific forum menu but no option to jump to previous or next page in the thread. At the bottom of the page the opposite applies - page selection option but not a return to Forum section.

I think this is mobile specific as I am sure I have seen both options on a desktop.

What I have just realised is that if I hold my phone in landscape mode then the page selection option does appear at the top of the thread. Looks like it could be a formatting thing in portrait mode.

Is it this next/previous thread button you are referring to?

Hi Roo, yes I get this at the bottom of the thread but not the top in portrait mode. I have taken a couple of screen shots to show what I mean. First is bottom of thread second is top.

ok, yes there isn't even the function for that in any device mode(desktop tablet etc)

Can I just ask what phone you are using because the layout seems to be scrambled.

I use a recent iPhone and access via Safari. I hAve tried changing viewing size between medium and large, but this doesn’t change the layout. As mentioned, if I hold the phone in landscape mode i get the navigation options.

If no one else is reporting this issue I guess it must be something else in my phone settings - that I will need to call upon my teenage daughter to resolve!
